In the inside of the box is engraven the following inscription :—" Presented by her Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain and Iceland to Dr. Dupuis, as a testimony of gratitude for the important services which he gratuitously rendered in 1837, in his medical capacity, to the subjects of her Majesty residing in the British establishments on the River Gambia."--- Moniteur. SPAIN. SAN SEBASTIAN, NOV. 9.—Munagorri, who, as wrote you, has been prevented from entering Spain, through Christino intrigue, returned to Sarre a few days ago, where the Fuerists are in the same contonments as they were previous to their march upon Valcarlos. It is talked of that he is shortly to cross the frontiers in the vicinity of our lines ; and although it cannot be denied that his presence in the Carlist territory would do more to un d-mnine the authority of the Pretender than all the Chris tino Commander-in-Chief has been able to effect, yet I doubt not but the same jealousy which interfered with him on a former occasion would be again exerted to frustrate his plans and ruin his project. Should affairs change I will not fail to witness his entree, whatever his reception. Our only news from Bilboa is contained in the enclosed translation of a despatch received from General Achavala by General O'Donnell. I have reason to think that General O'Donnell will take advantage of the absence of the eight battalions mentioned, and make an attempt upon some part of the coast, possibly in the vicinity of Ascoytia, to which place the Pretender has returned from Villa Franca de Guipuscoa. Terraguel, the Carlist bandit chief, has effected the cap ture of an escort consisting of twenty-five cavalry, who were conveying 1,500,000 rials from Pau to Saragossa. Five of the escort were killed in defending their charge ; the remaining twenty were made prisoners and shot. With this escort were a Lieutenant 7 general, three attorneys, and three deputies, who are to suffer the same fate, if they cannot be ransomed within a few clays. Such are the men employed by Don Carlos. " To his Excellency General O'Donnell, Commandant- General of Guipuscoa. _ _ " Most Excellent Sir—Maroto passed this neighbour hood in the direction of Durango on the 12th instant, escorted by one squadron of cavalry and the company of guides which he lately organised. On the same day eight battalions were seen moving in the direction of Alava, con sisting of two Castilian, two Guipuscoan, two Navarese, and two Alavanese. These have been detached from the cantonments about Balmaceda, leaving but five battalions in that neighbourhood. " This I make known to your Excellency for your infor inatioa and guidance. " I have just had information that 300 infantry, dis persed from the faction of Merino, have arrived at the Vega de Paz. I believe this dispersion to have been caused by our troops. " God preserve your Excellency. (Signed) " MIGUEL ACHAVALA. " Bilbao. Nov. 15." The following document, on which the official journal of the Pretender has various observations, is at this moment the subject of all conversation at the Carlist head-quarters. Though it is difficult to prove its authenticity, it is not amiss to lay it before our readers.

" Having been informed that Don Sebastian Olozaga has set out from Paris for Cadiz and Gibraltar, and that Mr. Southern, Private Secretary to the English Legation, intends to visit the coasts of the south of Spain, the Go vernment of his Majesty fears that if these two persons meet at Cadiz, it can only be with the intention of disturb ing the public peace, as they did in 1835 ; I send you this intelligence, that you may watch with tho strictest pru dence, and observe the movements of the above-mentioned persons."

London, Nov. 22. SIR—In a letter from Mr. Roebuck to yourself, which you published on the 10th inst., it is asserted, on the authority of Mr. Lafontaine and Mr. Davignon, that I was employed by Lord Durham to negotiate with Mr. Papineau. Mr. Roebuck says—" An agent, well known to be em ployed by Lord Durham's Administration, who is actually and openly in communication with his Chief Secretary, and who also formally reports his proceedings—this man is sent to Mr. Papineau, the denounced traitor, in order to devise plans for the re-establishment of the Constitution and the arrangement of the affairs of the province so as to content the people." Mr. Roebuck has been grossly imposed upon. This statement does not contain one word of truth. I never was employed by Lord Durham, or by any person belong. ing to his Government, to communicate with Mr. Papineau, or with any other of the accused, upon any subject what ever. I never made any " report,' either by writing or verbally, either to Lord Durham or any one be longing to his Government, upon the subject, or any part of the subject in question. For a confirmation of this statement I might appeal to Lord Durham, and to every one attached to his commission. This statement, how( ver, requires some explanation. The assertion made by Mr. Roebuck, on the authority of two of his clients, is not so much a pure invention as it is a gross perversion of the truth. But, excepting upon one point (which I shall notice presently), it may be that the truth has not been wilfully perverted. I must, there fore, having contradicted Mr. Roebuck's assertion, tell the whole truth. For a long while before the rebellion in Lower Canada I had deeply sympathised with the majority of the people as represented by the House of Assembly. I imagined, rather fully believed, along with yourself and many eminent Liberals in this country, that the contest in Lower Canada resembled the dispute between England and her old colo nies in America ; that the great majority of the colonists were struggling for popular principles and good government, against an arbitrary, corrupt, and oppressive faction ; that the act of the Imperial Government which violated the Ca nadian Constitution would justify a rebellion ; and that if rebellion for such a cause should succeed, every friend of liberty in the world would have as good ground for rejoicing as when Luther vanquished the religious des potism of Rome, and Washington established the United States of America. Such were my impressions before the rebellidn. The remarkable facility with which that rebellion was crushed first led me to suspect that my view of Canadian affairs must have been erroneous ; but I could not tell in what respect erroneous, and I therefore entered the colony with a strong feeling of goodwill and compassion towards those whose want of energy or neglect of preparation alone, as it then seemed to Inc, had pre vented them from maintaining sacred rights by an appeal to the sword. With this feeling and with an anxious desire, moreover, to learn the truth, the whcle truth, and nothing but the truth, with respect to Canadian affairs, I seized every opportunity of intercourse with members of the soi disant Liberal party. By the aid of Colonel Simpson (Mr. ' Roebuck's stepfather), I was placed upon terms of frank and friendly communication with most of the leaders of that party. They met my advances with an appearance of great cordiality. I passed hours and days in their society, especially with Mr. Lafontaine of Montreal and Mr. Morin, of Quebec, who in the absence of Mr. Papineau may be considered the leading men of the party. With these gentlemen, and many others, I often discussed the whole subject of Canadian politics. I spoke to them without the least reserve or caution on every part of the sub ject, and believed that they spoke as frankly to me. Our intercourse was frequent, and rather cordial and intimate, than merely candid and frank. In this man ner, without excluding any part of the subject, we talked of the past, the present, and the future—of the causes of the rebellion and its failure—of the prisoners and refugees—of the chances of punishment or impunity for classes or individuals—and of the prospects of the colony immediate and remote. In the course of these discussions I became convinced that Mr. Lafontaine and his friends were bent on pursuing a course which would be most injurious to the colony, and especially to the whole race of French Canadians. They appeared to me to be profoundly ignorant of their own position, and thoroughly devoid of judgment as leaders of their party. I told them so in the plainest terms, and fre quently in the presence of Colonel Simpson, who entirely agreed with me. It was then that I determined on endeavouring to see Mr. Papineau. I wished to have the same unreserved communication with him as I had with his friends. Still impelled by a sentiment of good will and compassion towards the Canadians, I cherished a hope that Mr. Pa pineau might exert his powerful influence in diverting the other leaders of his countrymen from a course which, in my humble judgment, would produce greater calamities than yet had happened. With this hope, and furnished with a letter from Colonel Simpson, I went to Saratoga, expecting to find Mr. Papineau there. He was absent, and I returned to Canada, leaving Colonel Simpson's let ter with Mr. Cowan, an American friend of Mr. Papi neau, and a message to the effect that I would return, in case he should wish to see me. While. at Saratoga I con versed fully and frankly with Dr. Davignon on the subject of Canadian affairs. Such was the nature of my intercourse with the leaders of the French Canadian party. But I have now to add, that Lord Durham was totally ignorant of my journey to Saratoga ; that I never repeated to him or to any one con nected with his mission, any of th e conv ersations that had passed between me and those gentlemen ; that I never made any report, of. any sort or kind, to anybody, upon any of the subjects of those conversations, or upon the views, dispositions, or wishes of the persons who had ad mitted me to such confidential and friendly intercourse ; and, finally, that during the course of that intercourse I took several opportunities of solemnly assuring those who I met—and often in the presence of Colonel Simpson—that I had no mission from Lord Durham, or from any one con nected with him ; that I spoke for myself alone, as a well wisher of theirs, who had a right to say and do what he pleased without reference to Lord Durham ; and, above all, that they might be sure I should carefully abstain from repeating to Lord Durham or others any part of their conversations with me. I said this the more emphatically, because it ap peared upon one or two occasions that they hoped to convey to Lord Durham, through me, some expression of their own opinions and wishes. I over and over again told them that I would never, for any purpose, act as an agent between them and th e G overnment. May be al lowed the satisfaction of adding, that Lord Durham, by never asking me a questio n a b out my intercourse with the French Canadian leaders, showed that he believed me in capable of playing the spy for him or anybody else.

TRIAL OF BELABRE, THE SENTINEL. The trial of Belabre, for shooting the man Fohr at the gate of thre Tuileries, came on before the Second . Court yesterday at eleven o'clock. On the table of the Court were placed the musket of the prisoner, and the bullet by which Fohr was killed, and which was much fllttened. The regiAyar read Ahe act of accusation, imp 4 Belabre the crime of voluntary homicide while on ty as a sentinel, and afterwards the deposition of Belabre, the prisoner, which stated, that about half-past ten in the night of the 14th inst., while on duty within the garden of the Tuileries, a man came near him on the other side of the railing in the street, and proposed to him to drink. On his refusing the man used excessively abusive language, and at length made signs as if he would attempt to climb over. He desired him to go away five or six times, but the man did not do as he was desired, and at length, on his attempt ing to scale the railings, believing him to be armed, he fired. Corporal Aribaud, who had stationed Belabre, told him he was to fire if any one attempted to climb over the railing into the garden, which order he received from the officer on duty at the guard-house in the Place des Py ramides. Belabre was then called in, and interrogated by the Pre sident. He is a middle-sized man, with the complexion and manners of a farmer's labourer, who had been much exposed to the sun in the fields, and gave his answers in a broad southern accent. He repeated almost verbatim the facts stated in his previous examination, and persisted in stating that the deceased made attempts to get over the railing, and appeared to be armed. He did not call to any other sentry, because there was none within hearing. M. Bureau, a college tutor, declared that he was coming along the Rue de Rivoli at the time of the accident ; be heard the deceased using violent and exceedingly gross language to the sentinel, and saw him make an attempt to climb the rails. Colonel Castres, Military Commandant of the Tuileries, was examined as to the nature of the orders given to the sentinels. The witness handed a copy of the order always posted up at the Tuileries for the last seven years. He stated that there vs ere no verbal orders for the sentinels. His devotedness to the Royal family and the Revolution of July was, he said, well known, but if his Majesty's person were threatened, he would issue written and not verbal orders, which might afterwards be disavowed or perverted. Belabre, on being referred to by the President, stated that he re-charged his musket, because he feared he might be attacked by others.. Captain Dimay, Adjutant of the Tuileries, deposed that he spoke to Belabre five minutes after the occurrence, and found him quite convinced that he had done nothing but his duty. Aribaud, the corporal who posted BeLibre, on being asked what orders he gave, said that the corporal at the post of the Place des Pyramides delivered to him the order, that if any one attempted to get over the rails into the gar den, the sentinels were to be told to repel them with the bayonet, and in case of persistence, to fire upon him. The Court retired at half-past two, and after a few mi nutes' absence returned into the Hall of Audience to de liver its sentence, which was read by the President to the following effect : On the first count, whether the prisoner is guilty of vo luntary homicide ?—No : by a majority of votes. On the second count, whether he is guilty of involun tary homicide by imprudence ?—No : by a majority of five votes to one. The prisoner was therofore ordered to be set at liberty, and sent back to his regiment to continue his service. More than 1;200 persons were stationed outside the Court during the trial, anxious to know its result. COURT OF ASSIZES. M. GISQUET V. THE EDITOR OF THE MESSAGER. The Court of Assizes was yesterday crowded to excess, in expectation of the trial of the indictment for libel laid by M. Gisquet against M. Brindeau, editor of the Ares sager, being proceeded with. ,The cause was called on, but M. Brindeau did not make his appearance, and in his absence the Registrar proceeded to read the documents, including the article complained of, which appeared in the 211essager of September 12, and the letter addressed to the Message,. by M. Gisquet on the 15th of the same month, with the the reflections of the journalists, which were con sidered to have fully established that M. Gisquet was the person alluded to by the article of the 12th. M. Plougoulm, Advocate-General, stated that the article incriminated contained the offence of defamation beyond all question. He stated his opinion that M. Gisquet, as a public man, could not do otherwise than brave the proof of the conduct imputed to him, and that the editor, by hi s absence, had placed himself in a position which was not con sistent either with his own honour or that of the Press in general. He said that the press was bound to denounce to the public all delinquencies of any serious nature, taking upon itself, at the same time, the responsibility of esta blishing the truth of its accusations. In this case, as M. Brindeau made default, it was evident he was not i❑ pos session of the necessary proofs, and therefore the Advo cate-General called upon the Court to inflict the utmost penalties of the law. The Court, after an hour's deliberation, pronounced judgment, de,claring the editor of the Messager guilty, by default, of a defamatory libel upon M. Gisquet, both as a private individual and a public functionary, and therefore sentenced him to be imprisoned for twelve months, to pay a fine of 3,000 francs, with all the cost of the prosecution, and also ordered that all the Numbers of the Journal which contained the incriminated article should be destroyed. Loss OF THE AFRICAN PACKET.—Mr. Scott, English Consul at Bordeaux, has addressed a letter to the editor of the Courrier de Bordeaux, dated the 21st inst., which that Journal publishes, and in which he states, that having reason to suspect that the sailors of the African packet had abstracted a part of the money which was on board the vessel, he re quested the Mayor to have them watched ; and when it was discovered that the Spanish pilot was in possession of 200 francs, and not 100 piasters as had been stated, he (the Consul) placed the whole of them under the surveillance of the Magistrate, in order to ascertain whe ther they had participated in the abstraction of the pias ters or gold in the box alluded to, which has never been found. Mr. Scott adds, that it was not since, but before, the arrest, that the body supposed to be that of the se cond mate was found, and that the handkerchief said to have been bound round the feet was round one leg only, and it appeared much more natural to suppose that it came there from the cause attributed by the sailors than that it bad been used to fasten a weight for the purpose of sinking his body to the bottom of the sea. Upon the letter the Courtier de Bordeaux observes, that although it may re lieve the men from the imputation as to the handkerch ief it still remains a mysterious occurrence that all the officers of the vessel should have been washed overboard by one wave, and that the letter does not and cannot contradict the fact of money having been found about the -persons of the pilot and the four surviving sailors. The other Bor deaux Journals state that the Procureur du Roi has re ferred the case to the examining Magistrate, and that the inquiry is still going on. THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA.—(From the Siee/e.)— Letters from Italy and Germany announce the resurrec tion of an Order formerly celebrated, but which of late existed but in the old recollections of history, notwith standing the survival of some old Knights and the crea tion of some new. W e allude to the Knights of Malta The protection of the Pope, and his zeal in favour of this Order, have not been limited to the recent restitution of the old Commanderies which it formerly possessed in the Roman State.

In order to contradict Mr. Roebuck's imputation that I was employed as a secret agent, or sort of spy, by Lord Durham, it has been .necessary for me to de scribe the opinions and sympathies with which I went to Lower Canada. Personal inquiry on the spot, with the best opportunities of getting at the truth, has in duced me to Abandon these opinions and sympathies. I hare been forced to abandon them, in spite of the deep.. rooted conviction and e arnest feeling with which they were entertained. I believe now that I was blinded and mislo4l l as many others have been (yoi:rself not excluded, allow me to say), by a course of misrepr3sentation—a regular system of delusion, to which I was once (however uninten tionally, as Mr. Roebuck still is) an active party, and which, while it occasions thelnost erroneous views here as to the nature of the dispute in Lower Canada, has a still ' more mischievous effect in deceiving the French Canadians as to the state of feeling in this country with respect to to their position and objects. As to the nature of that dispute, and the state of affairs in the colony, the truth Will probably be known here be fore long ; when many will only have to wonder at the depth of their previous ignorance. I wish that the un happy Canadians were as likely to be undeceived as to the state of feeling here with respect to them. I am, Sir, your obedient strvant, E. G. WAKEFIELD. THE WEATHER. (From the Provincial Papers of Saturday.) SCOTLAND.—The late incessant rains have been RV', ceeded by a complete wintry frost—the most intense that,: has been experienced in the North, so early in the season, for the last twenty years. This premature severity was ushered in by meteoric appearances which have before marked the month of November. On Tuesday, the 13th current, a number of shooting stars was visible ; in some parts of Ross-shire to the amount of fifty. The same phe nomenon has been observed from the Bth to the 15th of August. —lnvernea: Courier. For those few days past we have enjoyed a dry sharp wind, which has been of great benefit in drying the corn ; and we are happy to learn, from a number of farmers from these districts, who were in town on Thursday, that nearly the whole of the exposed crops were got in, and as the weather has since continued equally favourable, we have no doubt that the fields would last night be all cleared. Some of the corn has suffered from long exposure, but not to a very serious extent. The potatoes are generally well secured, and a good breadth of wheat has been sown.— Paisley Adverfiser. The weather at Ber wick during the week has been characteristic of the present month—" gloomy Novew her." Piercing cold winds have prevailed, and even at mid-day we have been scarcely conscious of the influence of the sun as the dispenser of heat. All around us indi cates winter, and though the lower parts of the country are yet free of snow, we understand that the whole range of the Cheviot Hills has been covered for some days past with their wintry mantle ; and, as the 'weather continues frosty, there is at present no appearance of its soon disappearing. but rather of its being deepened.—.Be)wick Advertiser. Since our last, the thermometer has fallen to the freezing point, and a keen frost has prevailed, with occasional showers of snow, which, however, disappeared as it fell.. Along the range of the Cheviots, however, the snow is. lying to a pretty considerable depth, presenting a striking contrast to the lower parts of the country, which are at pre sent unclothed with the fleecy mantle of winter. The farm produce in this district being long ago secured, we are the least dependant upon the elements ; but in the Lammer moors and other upland districts, the setting in of winter at such an early peried has been productive of considerable loss. —Kelso Chronicle. The harvest is not yet over in the Ochills. There are still a great many fields in the stook, which, when thrashed out and ground, will give a very small return. There are several fields of potatoes still in the ground. The intense hard frost which has set in, prevents their being dug up, and will, it is to be feared, render them of little value. ---Perth Advertiser. The wind still continues to keep a firm hold in the , S.E., but moderate. There have been several heavy show— ers of sleet during the week ; but, upon the whole, the wea ther is seasonable.—AherdeenHerald. uring the past week we have had a continuance of the same kind of weather as the week before, with the excep tion, that the frost is acccompanied with very strong north east winds. Scarcely any rain has fallen. —Kendalilleroury. FURTHER ANTI-POOR-L&W RIOTS AT TODMORDEN. • (From the Manchester Times.) It will be recollected that there was recently ;tri outrage committed on the persons of two officers, sent from _Halifax to carry into effect a precept of the law on the property of an overseer. We regret to say that another serious riot, arising out of the circumstances which gave rise to that of Friday last, took place on Wednesday. On this day it appears that a report by some means or other gained currency, that a re newed attempt was to be made to distrain upon the goods of Ingham, the overseer at Makinholes, backed by the soldiery ; and the means of alarm, which had before proved so successful in frustrating the law, were resorted to again.. In the course of a short time, about three or four hundred persons, men, women, and childr en , many o f t h em provided. with sti c k s , collected in front of Ingham's house, where they waited for some time in patience, for the appearance of the officers. At length, however, a suspi c i on b e i ng exc i te d that they had be en misled, and that no seizure was to be made upon the overseer's goods, the mob prepared to leave, when it was suggested by some of the party, that as they had assembled, they would not separate until they had gratified their revenge upon some one, and they immediately set forward towards the residences of such persons as they knew were favourable to the New Poor Law. Amongst these persons the Guardians were, of course, the most obnoxious ; and accordingly their first visit was to the house of Mr. Royston Oliver, of Wood Mills, which they attacked with stones, completely destroying the windows. Mr. Oliver, we understand, made his escape on horseback. The windows of the house of Mr. Shackleton, publican, were also destroyed. The rioters next bent their steps towards the house of Messrs. Abraham, John, and Peter Ormerod, manufac turers, Dulesgate, destroying the windows, and the palisades in front ; they then proceeded to the residence of Mr. William Halliwell, broke the windows, destroyed a portion of the furniture, and the palisades also in front of the house. The next object of revenge was Mr. James Suthers, whose property was destroyed in a similar manner. The windows of the Messrs. Greenwood's mill, and of their residence in Wattie Place, were also de stroyed ; and the assemblage then moved forward to the front of Miss Holt's shop, where they committed similar outrages to those already described, destroying also a great quantity of drapery goods, taking whole pieces of print and trampling them in the road. The windows of Mr. Oliver (the surgeon) were also broken, and the glass bottles, gallipots, &c., in his surgery, were partially destroyed. From Mr. Oliver's they proceeded to Tod morden Hall, the residence of Dr. Taylor, magistrate, where, not content with destroying the windows of the house, they proceeded to light a fire in one of the rooms, by means of a quantity of pitch. The walls of the rooms were defaced ; a number of valuable paintings were destroyed, including some family portraits ; a pipe of wine was run off in the cellar, and a carriage in one of the outhouses was broken to pieces. Having thus far satisfactorily wreaked their vengeance on the owner of the Hall, they left it to the mercy of the flames which had been kindled under a portion of the furni ture, and proceeded to the house of Mr. Atkinson, shoemaker, York-street, fortunately in time to allow the servants and others at the Hall to stop the pro gress of the fire, which they effected by promptly throw ing upon it buckets of water. The destruction of property here, however, was very serious. The windows of Mr. Atkinson's shop were of course the first object of attack, but not content with this they broke into his shop and proceeded to throw out a great portion of his stock, consisting chiefly of shoes, which were afterwards found strewed about the road in all directions. Mr. Atkinson put his head out at an upper window on perceiving this and attempted to remonstrate, but a shower of stones _was thrown at him, and h e f oun d i t pru d en t to retire. of t N ot content with the dama ge d o ne to the residence he Messrs.
